In Memoriam Prince Rogers Nelson

Lire l'article du journal Le Monde

Voici, à sa mémoire, un article que j'avais publié il y a quelques années...

Une manière originale pour un artiste de distribuer son nouvel album : l'offrir avec des magazines judicieusement choisis; c'est ce que Prince avait fait l'été 2010 avec son opus, "20 Teens", dont voici trois extraits.








"Act Of God" (Prince)

Dirty fat banker sold a house today
Sold in auction wants the family out the way
Kick them on the street, cause he couldn't pay the tax
Call it an act of God

I Get a million dollars people hear me sang
Gotta give the banker half of everythang
Didn’t the founding fathers holler about the same thang
(Yes They Did)
Call it an act of God

But I got news for you
Freedom ain't free
They lock you in a cell if you try to be
But the worlds would say no, make history
Call it an act of God
(Act Of God)

Tax dollars build a plane drop a bomb
Supposedly to keep us all safe from Saddam
Bringing bad news to another woman
Call it an Act of God

But I got news for you
Freedom ain't free
They lock you in a cell if you try to be
But the worlds would say no, make history
Call it an act of God
(Act Of God)

Funny how nobody's holy books are the same
Everybody's God got a different name
The day that it's over is the end of the game
And they call it an act of God

Hey, it will be all over when the people are free
Free to be who and what they want to be
Wherever we go it's up to you and me
Call it an act of God

We so tired said we through with fear
There never was no hell or boogie man here
If he was seen look he was in your mirror
Call it an act of God

Call it whatcha want except an act of God [x3]

Call it an act of God
Oh Lord

Call it whatcha you want except an act of God [x5]
